The problem with the Luristan or any bronze artifact is the style and patina that anyone who knows what they are doing can fake. Legitimate restorers try to repatinate bronzes that have been damaged and this protects the piece. With ancient bronzes, one can only patinate so much and then it is no different at first glance than one done 3000 years ago.
